can xcdroast be used to convert audio cd into mp3?
I sincerely doubt it. It's also not the right tool to use. GRIP is a nice GTK app to use (it's probably on the SuSE CDs) for this sort of thing. If you want to get technical, I recommend you use 'cdparanoia' for ripping, and the LAME encoder for encoding the resulting WAVs/AUs/etc. into MP3s. I also recommend you try out the Ogg Vorbis format [http://www.vorbis.com]. It'll give you the same sound quality as MP3 with 30% less bits, along with all the other advantages (e.g., no patents, flexible tagging, eventual bitrate peeling, etc.). After discovering this format, I now use it exclusively and have never given MP3 another thought. -- Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0

No. Xcdroast is a GUI for burning CDs, not ripping. You actually need two programs for ripping. The first is cdparanoia which copies the data to disk as a wav, then you need an encoder to convert it to mp3. There are many mp3 encoders, such as lame, but you'll have to download the source and compile it yourself. You could choose to encode to ogg format using oggenc which is included on the SuSE CDs. A nice GUI that do it in one step is grip. You can also use Konqueror! Check the SuSE manual. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MSCE, N+ I can C for miles and miles Got spam?

You will need libao, libogg, libvorbis, and vorbis-tools. Make sure it's all RC3 (the latest release). If you don't have RC3, you'll miss out on all the latest goodies: quality settings, (rudimentary) bitrate management, channel coupling, etc. -- Karol Pietrzak PGP KeyID: 3A1446A0
